The actress has already said that she is training and intends to do action scenes
Actress Dakota Johnson has revealed that filming on “Madame Web”, a new movie derived from the Spider-Man universe, will begin in July.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said she trained and intends to do as many action scenes as possible. “I feel I can do some Tom Cruise stuff,” she said of the production.
He didn’t mention where the production will be shot. But the action scene information reveals her role. After all, there are doubts as to which Madame Web she will play in the cinema.
Created in the comics by Denny O’Neil (one of Batman’s best writers / editors) and John Romita Jr. (son of one of Spider-Man’s greatest designers) in 1980, Madame Web emerged as a very old mutant named Cassandra Webb, who suffered from a neuromuscular disease that left her paralyzed and blind, but endowed her with psychic powers of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition, allowing her to predict future events.
Only Dakota Johnson is no older than 60. Instead of filling the actress with makeup, chances are she’s not this Madame Web, who, paralyzed in a wheelchair, wouldn’t even do many action scenes.
The most important detail, therefore, is to remember that, “dead” for the first time, Cassandra passed her powers – and her blindness – to an “heiress”: Julia Carpenter, originally the second Spider-Woman, who also became a Web Lady. Thanks to her new powers, she ended up becoming important for the connection between the characters of the different dimensions of the Spider-Verse. To top it off, she is still trained in martial arts from none other than Shang-Chi. Hence, the combat training Johnson would have had.
Another relevant information is that Cassandra Webb has mentored not only Julia Carpenter, but several generations of Spider-Women, from the first, Jessica Drew, to Mattie Franklin and her granddaughter Charlotte Witter. The film is also expected to use this connection to introduce other comic book characters, which would explain the participation of several actresses in the cast: Sydney Sweeney (“Euphoria”), Celeste O’Connor (“Ghostbusters: Beyond”) and Isabela Merced (“Dora and the Lost City “) – as well as Tahar Rahim (” The Mauritanian “), who must play the villain.
The screenplay was written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, responsible for the failed film “Morbius”, also set in Sony’s Spider-Man universe.
Directed by SJ Clarkson (from the series “Jessica Jones”), it should be released in theaters in 2023.
